Is it worth it???
#2

Hello Gary, welcome to the forum. There are a lot of first rate guys and gals here more than willing to help.

I really don't know much about Truetone radios myself, I'm sure there are those on the Phorum who do, but I've never heard any negative comments about them.

If the seller is willing to negotiate and you like the radio I guess it's worth investigating. I would see if an appropriate speaker could be found for it before committing to a sales transaction. It appears to be an 8 tube set with an RF stage. Here's a link, (Ron, hope it's ok to post one), and I hope it works because sometimes my computer illiteracy shows up.

It has a nice, large, colorful oval dial.

Mike
